Military Credit For Prior Learning (MCPLE)

MATC recently revised the entire MCPLE program to better serve our student veterans. This program is also continuously being updated as more faculty and departments update their specific program course credit requirements. We also strongly recommend that you speak to the MESO military advisor for specific MCPLE and program advisement/information based on your individual educational goals. MCPLE information and application processes are available on the MATC homepage, student services, getting started, credit for prior learning and experience.

Granting Credit Where Credit is Due

Service members, reservists, and veterans pursuing a college education may be able to obtain academic credit for military courses they have completed through the military. MATC evaluates military training and experience according to ACE standards for recommended college credit.

Due to strict Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines, each potential student with MILITARY experience should contact the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). The student will need to provide COMPLETE training records that include courses taken and thorough descriptions of course content. The FAA will then decide if any advanced standing is warranted. If advanced standing is awarded, the student will receive from the FAA a 86.10.2 form. This form should be submitted to MATC for further evaluation. Our local FSDO is located at 4915 S. Howell Ave. Milwaukee, WI 53207 or 414-486-2920.
